Kimberly McGuinness Again, I’m happy to see her.
Terry Ann Shuman-Gerspach I texted you before how to get the antibiotics. You know bladder infections can spread to the blood?

Morgan Roxx That person really needs to go to an OBGYN. It sounds like it’s needing antibiotics. Sometimes you cannot just ignore these things, it can be not good at all, to go longer than they have. It can get serious

Alexandra Nicole Grant Surgery?
Valerie Lynn Ward Benadryl maybe ?
Melanie Baker Tena for ladies
Carolyn Clapper Schedule an appointment with the Next World Medium for a medical reading to get to the bottom of things. 🙂

Kimberly McGuinness Sorry…but that was funny. ?

Carolyn Clapper It was meant to be 😉
Carolyn Clapper But in all seriousness, I am a medical medium, and work on medical mysteries. I (through God and Spirit) have determined illnesses ranging from MS, to Lyme’s disease, to cancer, to leaking in specific vertebrae is in the spine, etc.
My comment was meant to be funny, but I am able to go through a person and determine such things.

Kimberly McGuinness Carolyn Clapper, I think thats really a super neat thing you do. As a holistic health care provider myself I don’t discredit this as a potentially important part in a persons care. When we are looking at treating a person dis-ease or illness we really should be considering all underlying aspects.

Ann Elizabeth Carolyn Clapper sign me up! I’ve been suffering for 44 years now. I can’t even imagine what feeling normal is like but I bet it’s pretty awesome.

Carrie Baugher Have they given pyridium? It’s a medication the help stop bladder spasms. I don’t normally push meds but sometimes it’s necessary if you’re that miserable. Bladder spasms are horrible ?
Tom Birkenmeyer Carrie Baugher tried pyridium. Didnt help just changed her pee color.
Carrie Baugher Tom Birkenmeyer man that’s horrible. Yes unfortunately that stuff stains. ?
I hope she feels better soon.

Ann Elizabeth Hopefully she can find a well reviewed integrative doctor or perhaps speak with a medium. No joke.

Christina Spencer Engel Get that D-Mannose stuff right away, powder that supposedly really works !!
Leah Quist Nettle tea with horsetail & juniper berries. Celery juice. Also Dr Morse’s herbal formulas for kidneys & bladder (good for entire urinary tract)for cleaning and regeneration of cells. Don’t just treat the symptom, go for the cause.

Patrice Jahn Schwabe I have interstitial cystitis… It can be very hard to treat. I go to a very good Dr. at Freodert. I take Myrbetriq and Uribel and she also has to stay away from anything that can trigger it. Soda, acidic foods, some spices, liquor etc.

Tom Birkenmeyer Patrice Jahn Schwabe do you mind if I ask who your doctor is at Froedtert? You can private message to me if you’d like

Sandy Dilman Baking soda (1 cup) in a sitz bath several times a day and probiotics (Garden of Life makes a good one specifically for urinary tract issues)
Jodes Harris Have this now!!
Jodes Harris Just got back from gp with anti biotics again pain relief and anti fungal meds
Lois Herman I had botox injection’s in my bladder, i would never do that again. I then fell in the 5% that could not pee! The dr said i would have to cathteterize myself, i kept drinking tons of water…..finally 6 months later my blatter got back to normal! It was very painful afterwards also. I don’t reccomend this at all!

Rachael Akright You could also see if there is a skilled myofascial release therapist in your area. There are some holds, including a bladder release that may be helpful.

Esperanza Espi Richart I’m an Arvigo Maya Abdominal Practicioner. I would recommend she see someone that does this in your area. It’s an ancient Mayan technique abdominal massage. She needs to learn how to do it, her ATMAT practitioner will teach her. It could really help a lot. As well as yoni steams with disinfecting herbs and organic cornsilk once the infection is under control.
Look up Arvigo Maya Abdominal Therapy and Yoni Steams… on the Arvigo website there is a page where you can find a practitioner in your area.

Tom Birkenmeyer Esperanza Espi Richart thank you. Would this specifically Target the bladder walls?
Esperanza Espi Richart It would reposition all organs to their proper position causing better circulation and blood flow. Sometimes our uterus tilts forward and pushes on our bladders causing all kinds of stuff to be off and giving us more problems then we would expect. Modern medicine has nothing to help except horrible pills that cause other problems, or cutting us open and removing our body parts… It sounds like a strange technique, but I’ve helped lots of women including some with IC. It’s a technique passed down from Mayan shaman and midwives. It could even help prevent a prolapse. Look up her symptoms and type Arvigo therapy along with the search.. see what comes up..

Tom Birkenmeyer Esperanza Espi Richart here is the closest practitioner I can find to where we live. In your opinion would this person be worth calling and setting up an appointment with? https://arvigotherapy.com/users/wendy-sorenson
ARVIGOTHERAPY.COM
Esperanza Espi Richart Tom Birkenmeyer I would think so…. if she’s on the website, she’s in good standing. It wouldn’t hurt.

Jolynn Kottke Get igenex test for Lyme and coinfections.. IC is one symptom that points back to tick born infection …
3
Gina Simpson Jolynn Kottke I think everyone with any symptoms of anything should be tested for Lyme. I suffered 8 years. I now am dealing with chronic late stages Lyme.
There are so many symptoms.
I know over a dozen people over the last 2 years who insisted on a Lyme test and tested positive ?

Jolynn Kottke And the standard in house test is notorious for false negatives so they may have be “tested” but still have undetected Lyme or funky co infections… Unfortunately the igenex testing is not cheap. And typically not covered by insurance… Scandalous.
Gina Simpson Jolynn Kottke that happened to me. First test was negative. But a second blood test (different type) showed Lyme.

Gina Simpson Tom I guarantee you this IS Interstitial Cystitis. I had such horrible bladder spasms that I would cry.
Please tell your friend to tell her doctor to check for IC.
I know someone who committed suicide because of this. She was only 33 years old.

Tom Birkenmeyer Gina Simpson it is IC. Any treatment suggestions?
Dawne Jubb Has she tried lemon water with ginger root n acv.
Gina Simpson Tom BirkenmeyerTom #1 thing to do is diet. Nothing acid. No coffee. Yogurt. Tomato. Sour cream.
I swear it helps. Was on an antispazmotic and couldn’t urinate at all.
I suffer from this til this day. It goes in and out of remission.
I’d be willing to work with both of you to find what works.
Absolutely no cranberry or lemon.
There are a few holistic things I can recommend after the diet is altered

Gina Simpson Tom Birkenmeyer may I please suggest that although people want to help…… a lot of the suggestions I’m seeing are horrible for IC.
Please research anything (even what I’m saying) before trying anything.
IC bladders are raw. They can easily be triggered into even more horrific spasms

Rushelle Shanks Gina Simpson so acid drinks and food causes the spasms?
Gina Simpson Rushelle Shanks yes. I was having to be catheterized daily. I researched, changed my diet and within 1 day the spasms calmed so much I didn’t need catheterization. In 3 days the spasms stopped completely. In a week I was able to stop all meds.
2
Tom Birkenmeyer Gina Simpson that’s awesome! Did you do other things besides diet changes?
Gina Simpson Tom Birkenmeyer nope.
Please look at the site I provided. It shows a bladder affected by IC. Eating or drinking acid causes the spasms because it’s aggravating the raw bladder.
I did ask for 2 weeks of Levaquin because I also had a low grade infection.
IC is definately controlled with diet. I do usually need a 2 week prescription of Levaquin if I come out of remission….but I immediately eliminate all acid from my diet and it does the trick.

Dawne Jubb I punch them. Lol. Google it. You probably have.
Rushelle Shanks I get bladder spasms and pain, but I don’t have an infection. Mine is caused by my diabetes. I have to keep myself fully hydrated or the spasms start. Not fun at all.
Tracy Wardlaw A nice warm heating pack in the area to relax the spasms. Or cramping. Then talk her through yoga breathing and a guided meditation. Have her visualize the infection being burned out and healed. Have her see the healing light as an Orange Laser that is evaporating the infection.
Gina Simpson Tracy Wardlaw interstitial cystitis is inflammation of the bladder. It isn’t infection.
Tracy Wardlaw Gina Simpson the same applies to inflamation. Being calm and visualizing healing. Eases pain and suffering

Hollie Howell I have interstitial cystitis. Right now I’m on hydroxyzine for it, and when I run out I’m in so much pain. The only problem is that it knocks me out, so I’ve learned to take tiny pieces of the pill, just enough to control the pain without the sleepy. I often find myself unconsciously becoming dehydrated because of years of being undiagnosed, I’ve become afraid of peeing. I need constant reminders from family to drink water. Heating pads help, but in a pinch a sock of rice heated in a microwave will help if no heating pad is available.
Tom Birkenmeyer Hollie Howell where do you place the heating pad?
Hollie Howell Tom Birkenmeyer just on the pelvis, and then any other place that might feel soothing. Sometimes I have spasms in my urethra too, just just between my legs works.

Terese Day There’s a Dr named Larien Gillespie that specializes in this area. I think in Santa Monica it Westwood. I know she wrote a book on this area.
Mimi Green That maya massage was good for me
Shanta Pasika This is super gross but I used to get UTIs all the time. I finally figured out that it was because my ex showed once. A. Month. Seriously. I just assumed he showered more. Anyway I refused to have sex with him unless he just showered and then we broke up and I haven’t had one since.
But no natural remedies worked for me. I had to get antibiotics every time.

October Ramirez Same here, and any time I try to have intimacy in a physical way after not doing so for a while I get one.
October Ramirez They go straight to my kidneys, I need antibiotics

Lisa Renée Drink a shit ton of 100% Cranberry juice and lots of life water.
Heidi Fischer It can be so painful . Has she tried the cranberry tabs , or tried getting antibiotics. Floristar would also help as a probiotic but if there is a infectin she may need the big guns..
Connie Guevara I just got to the doctor if I get a bad enough urinary tract infection and take the medication prescribed to me. Plus, drink water and cranberry juice. Because I can’t do the other 2 options the urologist discussed with me.
